Tornello bamboo soaring through multiple levels of the
Medical Center.
Landscape Architect Tony Sinkowski, with Pete Walker and Associates, of Berkley, CA, hired Robert Tornello as a consultant to the project. Tornello worked closely with the group to design on-structure and at-grade planters. Further, he created custom soil-mixes, reviewed environmental and irrigation issues, and made important recommendations for lighting the project.
Over 500 culms of 2.5-4.0”-diameter were used; these were grown in 42” pots with 7-9 major culms each. Four separate 53’ climate-controlled trailers transported the bamboo across the country.
